When Nong Zhigao's 5,000 Nong soldiers were defeated under the impact of the Song cavalry, it meant that the victory was decided.

I have to analyze how these 50,000 Nong troops came about. The backbone was naturally the 5,000 Nong soldiers when Nong Zhigao raised his army, and before this battle, there were basically no losses. The second level is the small tribes that have defected, and they have been absorbed into the Nong and become the reserve force of the Nong soldiers. The will to fight is also strong. There were about 3,000 of them.

But only these 8,000 people are reliable. The rest of the more than 12,000 are the Huang, Wei, and Zhou families of the four major clans in Guangnan along with the surname Nong. At the beginning of Nong Zhigao's uprising, they watched coldly. Later, when he saw him sweeping across the two Guangzhous, he came to vote one after another. Although the heads were all crowned kings. But you can't expect these guys to live and die with you.

As for the remaining 20,000 or so, they were purely Han soldiers who were captured, and Nong Zhigao didn't count on them...... Basically, they are treated as people's husbands.

Sure enough, seeing that there was a danger of being surrounded and annihilated, the Han soldiers dropped their weapons and ran away. Their number accounted for half of the Nong army, and this escape immediately felt like a mountain of defeat.

The leaders of the Huang, Wei, and Wednesday families saw that let's not be stupid or save our strength, let's talk about it depending on the situation, so they turned their horses around and fled with their clansmen.

As everyone knows, they fell into Di Qing's calculations again, and the art of war cloud 'return to the master is not stopped' can not underestimate people's survival**, if the enemy soldiers find that there is no way to live, they will definitely desperately seek to survive.

What's more, he only has 30,000 troops in his hands, and it is pure pipe dream to swallow 50,000 nongs in one bite!

But he knew very well that the various units of the Nong Army, which were put together, had their own thoughts in practice. When the wind is down, they naturally advance and retreat together, and once they see that the situation is not good, they will definitely fall apart and rush to escape for their lives. Therefore, he ordered the two wings to be encircled, but he also ordered them to slow down, so that those non-descendant troops could clearly feel the danger of being surrounded, and also let them have enough space to escape.

But Nong Zhigao's descendants were not so lucky. When Huang Wei's family withdrew from the battlefield, the encirclement finally closed.

The art of war is cloudy, ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it. 30,000 elite Northwest Army surrounded and beat 7,000 Nong soldiers. The fighting spirit has been lost, and the shield spears that the Nong soldiers are proud of are completely unable to help them resist the killing of the Song army. They now have only one thought to run away one by one.

Fortunately, there are still 30,000 people who are a little short, and most of them are in the north. The 10,000 Song troops in the south were not enough to stop the Nong. After paying a very heavy price, the Nongs broke out of the encirclement.

As soon as they broke out of the encirclement, the Nong people threw away their shields and spears at the first time, took off their armor, traveled lightly, and fled south.

They heard that the Song Dynasty was a state of etiquette, and the emperor even once ordered that the enemy should only be repulsed and not pursued. It should be safe to escape now......

But they forgot one thing, this time the commander of the Song Dynasty was a military general!

Before going to battle, Di Qing gave a death order, and once the Nong army retreated, all troops immediately pursued lightly. There is no limit to the pursuit distance, and if you chase to the ends of the earth, you must kill all the rebels and never suffer in the future!

In this world, there is only a pursuit war, which can ignore the number of people, the strength of the strength, and the defeated side can only be slaughtered by others.

============================================================

From near noon to sunset and dark, the Song army pursued and killed fifty miles in one go!

Before leaving the station, Di Qing ordered generals at all levels to repeatedly preach to the officers and soldiers that if they could not fight a battle, they would have to be entangled with Nong Zhigao for a year, or even a few years.

Guangxi in this era was a wild land in the eyes of the Han people, and the miasma was very serious, and there was a possibility of death at any time. The officers and men of the West were all northerners, and they did not want to stay here for a day if they could.

I have to admit that the spiritual power is strong, under the domination of the idea of 'succeeding in the first war and going home for the New Year, the soldiers of the Song Army actually chased the tail of the defeated army and came to the city of Zhenzhou!

What made them even more ecstatic was that the city gate had not yet had time to close!

What else is there to say, brethren, go up! After chopping melons and vegetables, the Song army controlled the north city gate.

This is the whole war, the final winner and loser. Because Zhenzhou is the most important town in the southwest, the city is high and the pond is wide - if the Nong army fights to the death like the Beipu Rebellion, the Song army can only attack the city head-on. Although it is not as good as attacking Kunlun Pass and stabbing Ji, it can also break your good teeth.

Di Qing was ready to attack the city overnight. In fact, the 30,000 Western Army he led was only the front army, followed by the 20,000 Southern Army, which was responsible for transporting siege equipment, as well as grain and grass.

Those cloud ladders, building cars and other things were useless in front of Kunlun Pass, and Di Qing was already shouting lucky. Who knows that under the city of Zhenzhou, it is still useless. This made him almost want to ask God, am I your godson?

Actually, there is no other reason, it's just that homesick people can't afford to hurt",...

The follow-up troops continued to enter, and the sound of killing in the city was everywhere, and the flames were soaring.

Di Qing took Chen Ke and climbed the city gate tower. Overlooking the battle situation throughout the city. At this time, the city gates on all sides were occupied by the Song army, and there was no siege of Sanque Yi, only surrender to avoid death, and those who resisted were killed!

The great victory in the first battle and the miraculous feats of overcoming the two Guang have been firmly grasped by Di Qing. But Chen Ke took advantage of the firelight to see that he still looked cold, and even had a little more disappointed .......

What are you disappointed about? Is it because the opponent is not worthy of the name? Or is it too fast? Or are you accustomed to the big showdown in the Northwest Battlefield, and you really can't be interested in this kind of small scene of quick and quick resolution?

When Chen Ke asked this question, Di Qing just smiled and shook his head, but did not answer. Instead, he smiled and said: "This time, San Lang has also made a great contribution to quelling the rebellion." After a pause, he said: "Don't talk about this time, and don't talk about the sand table." Just saying that since the army entered Guangxi, it has not been harmed by the miasma, and you have made great contributions. ”

In ancient Guangxi, there was a not very nice nickname, called "miasma township", it was said that the miasma here was heavy, and when outsiders came, it was very easy to be attacked by miasma, and it was easy to vomit and diarrhea, and it was unconscious, or even died. Di Qing entered Guangxi to suppress bandits this time, what he was most worried about was not the Nong army, but the miasma, once his subordinates suffered from miasma on a large scale, how could this battle be fought?

Hearing that Chen Xiliang had been poisoned by miasma and could be cured without treatment and in prison, Di Qing was very interested and asked him for his experience. Chen Xiliang told him that from the moment he knew that he was going to Hengyang to be an official, San Lang repeatedly told him in the letter, asking him to serve Ciren every day, saying that after serving for a long time, he could lighten up his miasma. There is also a ...... to chew betel nut often, saying that betel nut is also known as 'washing miasma pills', and these two things can be taken together, so that they can not be harmed by miasma. Even if he is like Chen Xiliang, who deals with corpses all day long, his body can bear it.

Di Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. Horizontal and vertical Yiren and betel nut are not valuable things, and they are all native to the south. With a handsome order, he mobilized enough Yiren and betel nut. Subordinates are required to drink rice porridge twice a day and chew eight betel nuts. Combined with the miasma prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, the Western Army was almost unaffected by the miasma in the month since it entered Guangxi.

"It's a small contribution, but it's the key to victory." Di Qing said with a smile: "A certain official family will not let you ......." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the city and was speechless...... I saw that the pseudo-palace of Nong Zhigao suddenly burst into flames, and the all-timber structure of the building complex was drowned in the sea of fire in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Di Qing sighed helplessly and said, "It's a troublesome ...... now."

Marshal Di, who has been calm since the start of the war, is so disappointed because he is extremely unwilling to see the result happen.

In Di Qing's view, in the end of the rebellion, what he was most afraid of was that the culprit would not be seen alive or dead. I don't know when it will come out again, even if you can't toss it, it will make you sick enough: even if you are really dead, there will always be people who pretend to make trouble under his name, making you unhappy.

================================================================================ at dawn, the results of the battle in the city came out. Overnight, the Song army killed more than 5,300 people, and ...... more than 3,000 people killed yesterday, Nong Zhigao's descendants were basically cut down and eradicated. Recruit 7,200 coerced civilians and release them back to the village: and in the palace, a corpse wearing a golden dragon robe was found",...

This made Song Jun, who was extremely tired, cheer again,... According to the custom, this corpse must be Nong Zhigao, and the leader of the rebels has been killed in order to draw a successful end to the battle of Pingnan. Then everyone went home for the New Year, those who were officials were promoted, those who were soldiers made a fortune, and you became a national hero. What is there to hesitate about?

But Di Qing didn't do this, he looked at the charred corpse, and said lightly: "I can't see my face, just a dragon robe, I can't confirm that he is Nong Zhigao." ”

In fact, Di Qing is careful to be a person in Beijing, how can he not know the truth that more is better than less? He just doesn't want to deceive the official family in the slightest, but he is not sure, I will definitely not take credit!

Fortunately, after the victory, his own prestige has surpassed that brought by his official position. Even if he said that Nong Zhigao was still alive, everyone didn't dare to say anything.

In the next few days, Di Qing arranged the aftermath of the war step by step. The Western Army is already excited, and it is time to do some work, build up the burned houses again, and eliminate the evil ...... through labor, otherwise if they are brought home, the states and counties along the way will definitely suffer.

As for the pursuit of the remaining bandits, someone did it for him......
